How about reducing the fee from $140 to $70 or less? It would be a great way to increase the CHL holder numbers. It would also appeal to voters & politicians of the "lower taxes" platform.

Just because people criticize a part of our government (local, state, or federal) why does it have to mean that they're criticizing the state itself?
Based on your response, you're taking a perceived insult to the state pretty personally. I don't think that's what was intended.

And I don't thing suggesting that people leave is the best solution for the state. If you like things exactly the way they are, then anyone wanting to change anything should leave.. Some us might disagree or might want to have a respectful discussion.
